Squire Boone Caverns 3.7 (reviews)

Sit close, get comfortable...we'd like to tell you a little story.  Are you ready?  

One day long ago in 1790, there were two enquisitive brothers named Squire and Daniel Boone who came across some beautiful caverns, formed millions of years ago deep in the earth. Later, after using the caves to hide out from Indians, he considered the site holy ground and came to spend the rest of his life in the area.  He is even now laid to rest within the caves.  

Then, many years later, families looking for fun activities to do with each other, come to visit the caves and marvel at the incredbile formations that surround them.  They walk under the stalactites hanging strong from the cavern ceiling, and the stalagmites that seem to pierce the ground from below.  They even walk over two beautiful waterfalls, with their knowledgable tour guide telling the story of the history of the caverns over their one hour tour.

After the tour, the family enjoy the rest of their day back up on land in The Village, a fun and enjoyable collection of old time shops and activities.  Mum loved the candle dipping in Hannah Boones Candle Shop - she even dipped her own candle!  Dad loved the Gristmill - the 1800s corn mill which continues to use water power to make the corn mix still used today, and the kids loved the Bakery, filled with delicious freshly baked cookies and brownies, as well as the tastily named Candy Cabin which produes yummy old fashioned candies.

After their fun experience in The Village, the whole family set out onto the many hiking trails which adorn the area, followed by a beautiful picnic lunch.

Did you enjoy that story?  Well, if only there were a place where all of that could really happen....
